Who is Chris Armas? Manchester United old boy dubbed 'Ted Lasso' in Leeds dugout

Chris Armas returns to Old Trafford after nine months away from Manchester United, taking charge of Leeds United win as part of a three-man team of caretaker coaches filling the void following this week's sacking of head coach Jesse Marsch.

Marsch left on Monday, less than 24 hours after the club's 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest that left them sitting outside the Premier League relegation places only on goal difference. They do have a game in hand over those directly below and above them, which comes on Wednesday against United.

Leeds have failed to win a single league match since the season resumed on Boxing Day following the break in the schedule for the World Cup, picking up just three points from their six matches since. Armas and company will be aiming to end that wretched run at a place that the former United States international once called home.
